"it's pretty clear that the bush admin manipulated intelligence and basically lied to congress as well as the rest of the world."

How did he get Clinton to go along?

"People can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons."

Answer 1

You have to understand. They were all for it before they were against it.

Answer 2

Oh, I think I know this one.

It is because while a democrat does not mind the label liberal, and liberal does not consider themselves as a Democrat.

Strange, and while I still do not see the distinction, I find it fascinating.

The collective Left will come up with new names and terms to describe fractions of their group to give themselves and out. "The Democrats did that, I am a liberal"

Answer 3

you are not very good at spinning the truth.

the Dem's that voted to give bush the power to attack Iraq say they were mislead ! (expect lieberman) and they are sorry they did so.

lots of people - Con's and Dem's are getting tired of the way bush uses the Patriot Act.

No Child Left Behind is NOT working as promised. bush dose not seem to care and is going to do nothing to fix it before he leaves office.

Answer 4

" I voted for it before I did not vote for it" John Kerry who served himself in Vietnam"
They want to be for something and be against it so they can move side ways any time they think the polls will support them. No commitment no action.
LIES is what they are about and so are our politicians when they get to the beltway. The big Black Hole has been found.

Answer 5

This question is the result of your inability to understand that Liberal and Democrat are not synonyms.

It's the same problem you have with conflating Capitalism and Democracy, Conservative and Correct, Christian and Superior, Rich and Right, Liberal and Communist, etc.

The right suffers an extremely limited vocabulary.

Answer 6

it's pretty clear that the bush admin manipulated intelligence and basically lied to congress as well as the rest of the world.

bad luck for them - they assumed that they would find things in iraq that simply weren't there.

that being said - the politicians in washington speak for a very small percent of the american people.

most in my state of (mass - the bluest of the blue) are registered as inde, not dem or repub.

Answer 7

You must learn to stop holding liberals up to the same standards as humans. They should be likened to drug addled children.

Answer 8

Explaining this is about as easy as changing a diaper.

Some aren't mentally capable of making a decision without changing it and blaming others for their actions.

Answer 9

Oh, you are so simple. Liberals and Democrats are NOT one and the same. Like I said, simple.

Answer 10

They don't stand for anything except hatred of Bush and his administration.
